Spyderco Forums

Mine is trying to steel pocket time from my mantra 2 also. I would love to see the Ikuchi in Titanium.2 really great knives.

Haven't popped into the forums for very long time. Just wanted to stop in and praise the now discontinued mantra flipper. Just and absolute homerun of a knife IMO.

Been doing that type work for 18years. Best I have found for all around performance is the police 3 g10 serrated. A serrated edge is almost an necessity... I think the Tasman Salt would be a good choice...The hawkbill blade is useful but has its limitations. I generally have a folding utility knife ...

It is a very nice design! I could see the benefit of a larger spyder hole and some thumb jimping on the handle...

I would like to see some more sprint runs.

Bright Red g-10 and solid ZDP blade.

Always room for another Caly!

At this point my knife budget is way past blown... It has been a good year and look like it's only going to get better :) I wish I could afford them all!

Phil Wilsons B&T is the brightest dot on my radar at the moment. Cant.Wait.

Google "spyderco civilian + James Keating"...you can thank me later. My sister got a Civie and it was months before I could play with it. And play with it I did after cocktail hour. Got bit and it actually HURT. Not like a PE cut either. Civilians seem to feast on blood with high alcohol ...

I got one when they came out and have been using it on the water. I am thinking to do a quick write up in the near future. Oh cool, thank you, I'd like to read about that. I wonder if Spyderco plans to make them with black handles or only yellow? Seems like I have seen the in orange. Personally I t...

Well now that we know what the forum knife will be I'm undecided again. I don't own a native, but that's deliberate. I'm always interested in adding more S90V to my collection. I'm not to excited about maroon, FRN or the native model. Hmm..decisions decisions. Maybe I can buy the forum knife, and t...

Police 3 g-10. I'd expect that the Native ( I.E. 15 forum knife in s90) would be a good slicer too. The stretch 2 in brown g-10 is still available and is in zdp 189. I can tell you first hand that it's a great slicer! If I had to pick on I'd go for the police, its a great all around knife!

It's been 9 months since I have bought one, but the black on black was solid liner then.

Stretch
FRN
Red
super gold

Honestly, I thought they would be too busy to pull this off, so the whole thing is a bonus to me! Great idea, and some really great guesses!

Ok, I guess I'll go first... on the Jester that is! I like the larger knives but have a few smallies to fill the niche. I like the design and that bellyful blade of the Jester and feel like it's more of a small knife than delica or caly 2 yet nice premium materials. I haven't been able to buy one ye...

Sal is probably more cognizant of blade length laws and more customer aware than any other manufacturer. Maybe because he lives near Denver that has such laws. This is to put a great knife into more hands legally. I can carry whatever here in AL but applaud the decision Even as a fan of bigger kniv...

I went back and flicked a few knives again after I wrote the post above and have to say, with some of the backlocks it's not as consistent as with BBL's & comp locks. You have to think about it and have a little snap in your finger and maybe a little hand movement sometimes to make it work cons...

Op, from what you mention, I have to suggest the endura 4 ffg. It will be a wonderful change of pace from the "tank". I would recommend vg-10 steel to anyone. A few weeks back I was using mine to clear some small saplings between trees for a hammock. I was able to bend them over and cut i...

After reading through this thread I'm left with and idea myself... I agree that the military platform that Lance mentioned is a good idea and I do like scraping the liner lock for a back lock. I spend alot of time out of my kayak and where I'm from there are only a few sand bars and a lot more grave...

A heavier grease could be applied in the pivot area without disassembly by adding a small amount on the top side and using a hair drier or other heat source to help it flow downward. Add working the action to the mix and you should be good.

A can will last the life of the knife:) I normally lube them and use em, when it looses smoothness it gets a bath and another shot. Its hard to estimate with the many variables, I'd guess pocket carry edc, prob about week.

Be interested to see a shot of the custom when you get it !
